If you have nothing to do this weekend, if you’re completely booked with finals this weekend, if you’re busy battling giant dragons and can’t even fit in time to see a film this weekend, you should definitely check out the recent entry into the Hobbit trilogy. While the first film was fun, dramatic, and enjoyable in its own right, it felt a bit slow to the viewer. The second film in the series, The Desolation of Smaug, does everything that part 1 did well and did it better. As a fan of the original Lord of the Rings trilogybut not so much a fan of The Hobbit book, the movie not only managed to keep my attention despite its long runtime, but also inspired me to try reading the book again.
